Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Mini Review
Since it's release on November 10th, I felt compelled to write up a quick review for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 due to it's overwhelming popularity. Consider this a mini review as I feel as though I have only scratched the surface of this atomic bomb that was dropped on the gaming community and I will only hit on a few points that stand out to me most.
Multiplayer is always a top priority of mine and this game delivers quality. I have dabbled a little bit into the new "Spec Ops" co-op with a buddy of mine but for the most part I have been playing death matches. Since I am not a hardcore player and do not plan on participating in any kind of clan organized gaming, I truly appreciate the developers adding in the Mercenary game type. When I have time to play multiplayer video games and especially something as aggressive as FPS'ers, the very last thing that I would want is to be pitted against a very organized clan who will inevitable wipe the floor with my face. Mercenary mode allows me to have a fighting chance against the opposing team by randomly matching players and balancing the teams out as evenly as possible. Additionally, xbox live parties and not allowed in Mercenary mode to allow for a random team experience.
The complex but not overwhelming reward system makes for a very addictive experience. The hardest part is finally calling it quits for the night because there's always that little carrot dangling just outside your reach and when you finally attain it - there's a juicer one right behind it.
I am very pleased with this game and would recommend anyone who hasn't bought it yet to do so immediately.
